Finally read A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid w/ @biblionerdrflxn.bsky.social last month & I loved it! It was a fun blend of dark academia + fae lore + gothic romance. It was so atmospheric! 😍 I might've written an essay 'bout it, lol. #BookReview #BookSky #BookBlog

Against a background of dark violets and green leaves is shown the illustrated cover of Enchanting the Fae Queen, in which a mischievously grinning woman with long blonde curls, a moonstone crown, a pink dress and bare feet, sits perched in a tree teasing the uniformed general who stands before her, his expression determined and one of his hands around her closest leg while she pokes his strong nose with one finger. Above that cover image is this snippet of text: For seven years, this woman had haunted his life and his dreams with her incorrigible teasing and their circling, joint obsession.
This week's Saturday snippet comes from Enchanting the Fae Queen, which is out in ebook, paper, and audiobook:

I get so frustrated when I write a long comment on someone's blog, only to click "comment" and get that grey box saying "Nonce verification failed"! Argh. 😖
I loved today's #LetsTalkBookish topic about women who've shaped your reading life, not because I chose it, but because I loved reading everyone's answers! 😍 Who was the first woman author you loved? Do you mostly read women authors? #BookBlog #BookBlogger #BookSky

I made some changes to my blog setup for the first time in years. It isn't quite right yet, but the last time I attempted to change it, I accidentally made it a lovely shade of puke. Oops.
The big change is an added page with Dragonlance content. It turns out I have quite a lot. Who knew?

Is it already the end of February? Yah.
Am I just now posting the #ReadingChallenges I'm joining in 2026? Yah.
If you couldn't tell, my year has started off on a (very) disorganized note but hey, better late than never?! 🤭 #BookBlog #BookBlogger #BookSky

I don't read many short story collections but What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky by Lesley Nneka Arimah was fantastic. It was powerful & engrossing. Light, The Future Looks Good, and Windfalls were my faves! #BookReview #BookBlog #BookBlogger #BookSky

Cover of Of Dragons, Feasts and Murders, showing a man steepling his fingers on a background of Vietnamese temples. The mood is vaguely sinister
Cover of Of Charms, Ghosts and Grievances, showing a very sexy Vietnamese man with antlers, holding a book open and staring straight at the viewer
Also, if you want more Gothic shenanigans with a cozy queer vibe, here are some books about murder husbands trying to solve murders without incurring more murders

(one of my current WIP is book 3 in that series)

I actually didn’t end up loving Iron Widow as much as I thought I would, so I decided not to continue the series. I’ve seen mixed things about the sequel but I hope you end up enjoying it despite how different it feels!

What're you #CurrentlyReading this #WWWWednesday? I've only got one book on at the minute: a sci-fi that won the 2024 Hugo Award for Best Novel! I'm enjoying it so far, even with a *very* unlikable MC. 👀 I'm hoping for a great redemption arc here! 🤞🏽 #BookBlog

I've never heard of that before but I've been keeping this manual database on Notion for a few years now. I have no problem recording the books I read but when it comes to adding to my catalogue, my brain seems to magically forget! 🤭😂
Yes! I'm so glad that I finally picked it up this year because it's every bit as good as everyone says it is. I hope you enjoy it if you get around to picking it up! 😍
I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel!
It's so funny when I see people reviewing Middle Grade books and they put "0 🌶️". Like, you know you're reviewing a MG book, right? 😅
I found my first 5-star read of 2026: The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty! This was an amazing piratey adventure with stunning world-building, delightful banter, and amazing characters! #BookReview #BookBlog #BookBlogger #BookSky
